It's been four years since meaningful updates, and in that time
alternatives have emerged to almost everything. Any remaining
functionality to replace is on the issue tracker.
Simpler is better, for users and developers, and removing a legacy
system makes it easier to understand how DFHack works.
This was previously done right before SC_VIEWSCREEN_CHANGED events

invalid viewscreen, i.e. in the tick after it was deleted.
Fixes#747
This avoids the need to list newly-added classes in multiple places

GCC 5 mangles some symbols, such as "plugin_globals" ->
"plugin_globals[abi:c++11]" (or "_Z14plugin_globalsB5cxx11"), even
when declared with 'extern "C"'. This breaks plugins, in particular.
The obvious solution to not knowing how to categories plugins well is to
do so a little less. This commit does not rearrange them though, since
I thought that counterproductive without a better idea of what to do.
- removed many headings that are not commands
- fixed a few links and added some
- clarified stockpiles plugins
Having the docs index in the repo root was a holdover from when it was
the README file. Now that it's not much use without being built, it's
better to leave the root to README, NEWS, and LICENSE - especially when
one is a html shortcut to the docs index.
- script-syntax.py now exits with 1 instead of silently catching the
error if lua or ruby are missing
- index paths are absolute (from the repo root)
- less strong suggestion for third-party packs
- re-added lua-example and test-perlin doc
- corrected and clarified Compile some more
